Say what you want, but this is chess, not checkers. PM Skerrit is doing what real leaders do, building continuity while he’s still strong. Melissa is relatable, she has the people, and she’s been loyal to the party. She’s earned her spot not just because of who she’s married to but because of how she’s carried herself since 2019.
She’s always on the ground in Roseau Central, and her events bring energy and real connection.
She may not be a fiery speaker like the old guard, but she doesn’t need to be. Her strength is her presence. The Labour Party needs fresh faces with national appeal. Melissa ticks that box and more.

I’m Labour to the bone, but I’m not with this. Melissa is a good rep, yes. But Prime Minister? No man. Too soon. Let her grow first.

This is dangerous. We’re normalizing political succession through marriage now?
Melissa may be popular in some circles, but let’s not pretend that being the PM’s wife automatically makes you fit to lead a nation. What happened to merit? To open competition within the party? This smells like dynastic politics, not democracy. Labour is bigger than one family, and Dominica deserves better than a coronation. We need leaders with experience, vision, and independence, not someone groomed in silence.
